Favorite foreign film.

[internutt]

Battle Royale certainly. Such an amazing film, crazy story and some great characters.

The live action Death Note films were really good as well I thought.

 

[Ryuzaki]

I'd probably have to say Der Untergang and Letters from Iwo Jima(although technically that's an american film)

I agree, Letters from Iwo Jima was a great movie.

Also Howls Moving Castle and Hero, both are brilliant.

 

[TyeDye75]

Kung Fu hustle is amazing, I also like the motorcycle diaries and the infernal affairs trilogy

 

[Jabbawocky]

Thats a hard one so foreign films I like that are not American. If I had to pick one right now though it would be The Killer. Stars Chow Yun Fat and directed by John Woo.

 

[ForrestDixon]

"13 Game Of Death"

It was on a Blockbuster shelf and was a "Featured Movie." So I picked it up and didn't realize it was a foreign film until I realized that the title wasn't even grammatically correct (after I got home). It was good though. It was a little strange but a crazy thriller that anyone whould see if they know where they can find it.

 

[Whoolpurse]

Hmm. Saving private ryan.

(I'm from europe)

 

[kawligia]

"The Emperor and the Assassin" and "Seven Samurai."

I NEVER watch with the English dubbing. You lose the actor's original intonation.

 

[Peach_hat]

Spirited away.

 

[minarri]

I'm currently living in its country of origin but since I'm from the US I'll count it: Okuribito. The English title was Departures, I think. It's back in theaters over here ever since the Academy Award win.

I just saw the movie today but it was amazing (with only a few weird bits) and I cried quite a few times.

 

[CapnGod]

Oh, yeah, someone up there mentioned it, but I'm the same way. I hate dubbing. I'd much prefer reading the subtitles than hearing some hack destroy the movie.

 

[VaioStreams]

Death Note
Death Note: the Last name

 

[TopHatTim]

[REC] spanish original of Quarentine.
And apocolypes now.

 

[OMGFridge]

I doubt I could pick just one. So I won't. I'll pick
And if Love, Actually would be considered British, then that, too, although probably not.

Lolololol

Also M is great too.

 

[Lusperus]

Tie between Kung Fu Hustle and the original Ring from japan.

 

[CapnGod]

I doubt I could pick just one. So I won't. I'll pick
And if Love, Actually would be considered British, then that, too, although probably not.

Lolololol

Also M is great too.

Oh, man, M is fucking revolutionary. As one of the early movies with sound, it was doing things with sound that weren't standard for years afterward. It was far and away ahead of the times.

 

[xxDarlenexx]

Amelie. I fell completely in love with it.

 

[The Infamous Scamola]

Holy ressurected thread!
Didn't think I'd see this one again.

 

[THEMANWHOIS]

Funny Games. The original version in German.

 

[cas]

Crying Out Love in the Center of the World, Rainbow Song, or All About Lily Chou Chou

 

[BonsaiK]

Gone With The Wind.

(No I don't live in America, so that makes it a foreign film to me, okay? Good.)
